thank you

Broken link here

[sumitsingh]

Fatal error on about.php page

[sumitsingh]

Can we fix this warning?

[sumitsingh]

NOT FOUND LINK

[sumitsingh]

NOT FOUND LINK 2

[sumitsingh]

added on last section under contribute.php

[costdev]

1. Broken links on the "Credits" screen must be solved via the Credits API (​http://api.wordpress.org/core/credits/1.1/).
2. I can't reproduce the Fatal Error on the About page. Based on your screenshot, this occurred in formatting.php when _deep_replace() is called inside esc_url().

If this is isolated only to the About page for you, esc_url() is only called on these strings:

esc_url( __( 'https://wordpress.org/documentation/wordpress-version/version-%s/' ) )
esc_url( self_admin_url( 'update-core.php' ) )
esc_url( self_admin_url() )

3. Are wp-admin and wp-admin/includes/ writable? (Adding reporter-feedback)
4. See 1.
5. See 1.
6. @oglekler Is work planned for ​https://make.wordpress.org/contribute/ or should this CTA point to ​https://make.wordpress.org/ instead?

---

Finally, thanks to @sumitsingh for testing Beta 4! We need to keep track of each type of issue, so I would suggest that in future you create separate tickets for separate issues.

For example:

1. New ticket: Broken library links on the Credits screen.
2. New ticket: Fatal Error when visiting the About page.
3. Search existing tickets for chmod() warnings when upgrading WordPress (#56713) and add your voice to the ticket.
4. Search Trac for the ticket that introduced the Contribute tab (#23348) and report the issue.

Also please note that coding-standards is strictly for WPCS violations, performance is for speed regressions/enhancements, and accessibility is for a11y bugs/enhancements.

[oglekler]

@costdev This page will hold Orientation tool, it will be finished before the release. Orientation tool exists already and was tried by several WordCamps, so the only question is if we will be able to make some improvements or not.

[costdev]

Ah great, thanks for that information @oglekler!

[sumitsingh]

Noted above suggestion @costdev

[SergeyBiryukov]

Thanks for the ticket, moving to 6.4 to address any URLs that should be updated here.

[desrosj]

There is a lot being reported here, and most of it is unrelated.

Since there have been no other similar reports during the beta/RC period and the error messages seem to indicate an incomplete update, I'm going to close this out as a worksforme.

There is one valid issue that still needs to be fixed, though: the 404 errors for the external libraries.

@sumitsingh can you please open a new ticket specifically for that issue? In the future, please try to open up a separate ticket for each individual issue.

[oglekler]

I am marking this as good-first-bug, because the scope is quite clear: recheck the links, find the correct once and make a patch. Correct if I am missing something.

[Michi91]

I would like to correct the links, but i got a question @oglekler

​https://github.com/wordpress/wordpress.org/tree/trunk/api.wordpress.org/public_html/core/credits
--> Should i only correct the latest version or all version?

[desrosj]

Replying to Michi91:

--> Should i only correct the latest version or all version?

Great question, @Michi91!

So I went and looked back for any precedent. It seems that there is one instance from ​#4764 where the URL was updated for all versions containing the incorrect external library URL (change was made in ​[meta 9194]).

The only other examples that I found (only going back to 4.0 time) were:

• ​#1911/​[meta 3917] - Only the current release's credits were updated to use HTTPS URLs where supported.
• ​[meta 1048] - The URLs were only updated for the current release.

Seems imageAreaSelect was introduced in #13231 during 3.0, so it will be present in all versions supported in the Credits API. But personally, I think we either

• Update 6.3 only
• Update 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 (these 4 versions account for 75% of all WordPress sites)

Also thinking this specific change should get copied over to a meta.trac.wordpress.org ticket following the examples above, and because that's where the change will ultimately be made. But making a patch is still very much welcome!

[Michi91]

Created a meta.trac.wordpress.org ticket
Follow-up: ​#meta7257

[sumitsingh]

Hey @Michi91 ,

Can i know why closed this ticket and created new one by you??

Let me know any reason to close old one and opened new ticket related this issue??

[Michi91]

Hey @sumitsingh,
sure you can know the reason :-)

The Credits are part of the Credits API, which is part of meta and not core.

I closed it at core.trac.wordpress.org and opened a new one at meta.trac.wordpress.org, which is a different ticket system. Meta is the place where the change will be made. See also @desrosj comments.

In the follow-up ticket I mentions you and your ticket and provided a patch, so hopefully the broken links will be fixed with the next version release or maybe even earlier.

[SergeyBiryukov]

Thanks for the ticket, this should now be resolved in ​[meta12878].

Reclosing as reported-upstream, since the change was made in the Meta repository.
